The only thing I know about Huawei is they make USB 3G/HSDPA dongles  for the likes of T-Mo/O2/Three/etc. and that Paul and I recently got a  boat load of 'em cheap as chips!

It  would seem, however, that Huawei are not just a one trick pony and that  they might have some interesting devices on the way....

The Android-powered U8230 smartphone allows users to switch between  full and half QWERTY keyboards and to navigate programs easily via a  3.5-inch LCD touch screen. Huawei' s U8230 uses the Google Chrome  Internet browser which supports a variety of Google applications such  as Google Map, Google Search, Google Talk etc.. It is also fitted with  a battery which has a capacity of 1500 mAH - the longest battery  capacity of any Android-powered handsets currently available

A plethora of information there(!) but thanks to TalkAndroid (*cough* and to a lesser extent Paul *cough*) you can also have a look at a lovely (non-working!) prototype.... Expect to see this floating around the Asian market under a variety of different names in the future, some time

A new Nokia phone is getting ready to join the ranks of dust and water resistant phones. The new device - called Nokia 3720 (perhaps "classic" is not a wild guess here) - is IP54 certified, meaning it's dust and splash resistant. The IP rating is an international certification that specifies the level of weather-proofing of any product. The first digit indicates protection from foreign objects
